Please help!
I purchased this monitor:
HP Pavilion 21.5-Inch IPS LED HDMI VGA Monitor (22cwa)
A month prior to the delivery of this PC:
HP Omen 870-213w Desktop PC (256GB+ 1TB Hard Drive i7-7700)
I find now the cable and adapter that came with the monitor, will not fit anywhere on this PC. I just please need to know which cable I need to purchase so I can get use this long awaited PC. Too many options on the web, very confusing.
Thank you!!!

Hi:
Below is the link to the user guide for your monitor.
I assume you only got the VGA cable (with the blue ends)? See page 7

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC...
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05577988
The graphics card it comes with, has several outputs but no VGA output (which the blue cable goes to).
Rear I/O connectors: Dual Link DVI-D + HDMI + 3 DisplayPort.
So...since your PC and monitor both have HDMI ports, you would want to purchase an HDMI cable of a sufficient length.
This one is 6 feet in length.
